Metallica - "Orion" (Bass Cover)

This is the definitive Cliff Burton's opus. It has everything we love and admire from him: great composition, awesome chops and amazing solos. God bless Cliff, thanks for your beautiful music, passion and inspiration.

[@HvyMetal4Ever]

The soul of Cliff, with a tone like Jason. What is there not to enjoy?

[@wiktorcichobazinski5175]

lack of Roberto's s l a p

[@monsieurmitosis]

I agree. Listening to Cliff solo’d on Master of Puppets, I hate to say his tone sounds pretty average. But Rasmussen did a decent job of pushing the parts that worked, such as these classic Orion lines, and burying the parts that didn’t, such as the main riff after the outro.

[@zoro21345]

it is the exact bass jason uses live btw

[@ARz76]

Cliff & Jason ... yes , they're Metallica , oh wait , who ? Robert who ?

Easily the best cover I've seen of this song.

[@kellogc]

Thanks a lot!

Ayhan Akbayrak he’s ok but a little more sloppy

[@rembo9685]

Really cool to see somebody play it they way Cliff actually did.

[@doodoodingus5093]

I feel like you are extremely underrated. You’re skill and technique is fucking amazing! Keep up the badass covers.

[@kellogc]

Thank you, I appreciate it

[@lysdexic9129]

if a band like Metallica seen this vid and offered you a gig would you jump at it?

[@kellogc]

Does that include a million dollars? Sure enough! ;)

[@lysdexic9129]

I"m sure you could write your own cheques :)

[@tenaciousdan5831]

Kello Gonzalez 5 million. Lol

[@yourface3154]

Tenacious Dan I believe he was referring to Metallica offering Robert Trujillo 1 mil plus a spot in the band...

[@muriloninja]

You'd have to take the money and kush lifestyle but your musical talent would go to waste like Rob's has being in that Metallica bubble.

Revisited your song a few years later. You’re still the best,! 3 years into learning the bass and the more I play, the more I appreciate you’re passion and skill, even playing this cover! Real life bass wizard!

[@riccardorasponi1401]

you make us really feel Cliff spirit here, thanks!

He most certainly is 🙌🏻

[@The1888Brandon]

Awesome dude, Burton would be proud \m/

[@stuartthat30atgmail88]

I learned this and the album at 14 years old and it still explodes my heart. RIP Cliff. Great job, sir. Your covers are dope

[@SALacademicos]

Me too and I stopped playing when he died

[@Binotto]

This is a master peace, like Beethoven, Wagner, Bach etc. Cliff was a erudit musician..............

[@The_Noticer.]

I wouldn't go that far...

[@AzogDefilerFromMordor]

oh come on. Those men wrote music for whole orchestra

[@CerealKillerPT]

@Garegh62 u even saw Cliff playing?

[@TheDD1255]

@@AzogDefilerFromMordor nop. It's Michael K. Who arranged it.

[@pat8437]

Lol no way.

[@BFelix1776]

As badass as Jason was, he never did anything on this level. RIP Cliff. Great work sir!

[@michaelgmcauliffe]

don't bust up Jason he is an amazing bassist as well..

[@BubbaBass_Official]

I beg to differ.

[@ozerserkan]

Open your eyes, see the truth and try to hear Jason!

[@Ozzie143]

Jason was not really allowed much creative input... one of the major reasons he left.

[@Odysseus2415]

Look up his full version of my friend of misery

[@davidzedner4286]

You just absolutely blew my mind...Best cover of this song...EVER!

[@kellogc]

David Zedner thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I did playing it

[@guinness75]

Killer tone, great cover, and beautiful Alembec. Wouldn't mind seeing a gear/pedal breakdown if you have time cause, yeah, that tone man 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@brianfrykman7454]

Wow, working on this bass line is humbling. You are a wizard.

[@kellogc]

Thank you! All credit goes to Cliff! 🤘🏻

[@justinstreiner9243]

@Kello Gonzalez - Your covers are all absolutely top-notch! Loving that tone! Cliff would be proud

[@Proudtobe404notfound]

i never and ever comment anything but your way of playing gives me chill

[@maniacguitar]

I love all Metallica although I truly believe that 5:10 is the most beautiful musical passage they ever created as a band. RIP Cliff, the true master of puppets!

[@tommy2thej]

See mine's at 3:47 Sets me back in my chair everytime

[@blunderless]

both are so incredibly valid but since we’re here already, 6:00, but with different tone would be better

[@mikelish8516]

Hey man this is AWESOME!!!! Not many people can put as much heart and soul into cliffs work like you do!!! Love it man

I never get tired of this song or this cover. Good Work Kello! Long live the Major Rager on the 4 string!

[@stevenreds83]

Orion... Best song forever!!! Nice cover!!"Bravo!!

[@seekerulo]

This is a big inspiration for me to still learning to play bass!!!

[@kjvail]

This song literally inspired me to pick up a bass when I was 14. Cliff, Steve Harris and Geezer Butler were my own personal holy trinity when I was that age. If I'd stuck with it maybe I could play it like you do This is such an awesome tone you got there, what's your rig?

[@kellogc]

Thank you. Cliff was my inspiration as I started (also at 14), I don't recall the exacts on my rig as it's been some time since I recorded this video. I used an Alembic Elan bass, through an Aguilar amp setup. For effects I used Sansamp DBBI, Mountainking Electronics Megalith Fuzz and Morley Dual bass wah.

[@noway6297]

I was almost bored of listening to Metallica songs Now, it makes sense to listen to them again, as long as I listen to you playing the bass.

[@lucas00f]

perfect, very touched, best cover of Orion the world
